A conservative group is asking the Federal Election Commission to investigate two top Democratic lawmakers for what they consider illegal coordination with unions and outside groups.

Let Freedom Ring, which says it was created in response to “anti-conservative attacks,” wants the FEC to investigate House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and House Democratic Caucus Chairman John Larson (Conn.) for allegedly urging outside groups to spending money to elect their candidates.

The complaint is based on news stories in POLITICO and Roll Call, which reported that both the California Democrat and Larson asked liberal groups to take a more active role to help beat back the influence of conservative organizations.

“Based on the public information detailed in multiple media reports, there is detailed evidence that Nancy Pelosi and John Larson illegally and willfully coordinated with liberal outside independent expenditure organizations to impact the 2010 elections in their favor,” said Colin Hanna, president of the organization. “The House Democratic Leadership asked independent groups for their support, and those groups, under pressure, made a glut of resulting independent expenditures. The FEC must investigate this matter for criminal wrongdoing.”

It would be illegal for a lawmaker to coordinate directly with an outside organization to put money into any political effort. Pelosi and Larson’s office couldn’t be reached for immediate comment. This is likely to have little effect in the upcoming elections — FEC investigations are often quite lengthy.

“This compliant is a stunt with no connection to reality or the law,” Crider said. “Every American has the right to voice their opinion, that doesn’t mean that they are coordinating some vast left wing conspiracy.”

To urge is to insistently ask for or recommend an action; to coordinate is to directly cause or produce a consequence. Asking liberal groups to take a more active role to help beat back the influence of conservative organizations is to enlist their aid, something liberal groups would ordinarily do without asking, and does not equate to coordination; neither Pelosi nor Larson have the affiliation with these groups that would allow them to direct their actions. They are only asking that these groups do what they would normally do. This is thus a frivolous complaint by 'Let Freedom Ring' (snort!!! Let freedom ring? More like let tyranny ring!).

Subsequently, it must be noted that so-called conservative groups' behavior is but a parody of itself, theatre of the absurd at it most ridiculous. They waste tax dollars everytime one of them makes such a complaint because they already know it has no merit, a baseless accusation. An actual conservative group would only lodge a complaint if it were founded in truth.
